Pliny the Elder, the famous Roman naturalist, (70 A.D.) said "Vinegar possesses great merits for its many uses, without which life would lose its pleasantness." Fine Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is the masterpiece of the vinegar world. In recognition of the extraordinary nature of this product, the Italian government has adopted legislation defining its characteristics and production process. Unlike wine vinegar, which is made from wine, Balsamic vinegar is made from fermented concentrated grape must (grape juice), and gets its dark color and pungent sweetness from aging in oak barrels over a period of many years. Compared to more pedestrian vinegars, Carli's is quite aromatic and flavorful. It is a sweet and delicious vinegar that is the perfect complement to Extra Virgin olive oil over salads. Guaranteed Carli quality.

Note: this product contains sulfites, which are added to inhibit the growth of unfavorable, flavor-detracting bacteria.

There is no better balsamic vinegar than this. It makes a salad and I have had many compliments on my oil and vinegar salad dressing.

Great

Love the produce and love the site. Wonderful options and many choices. Wish there was a free shipping offer, i would rather spend more on the products and get free shipping than scale back purchases to pay for the shipping.

Very nice

Quite frankly I wouldn't say my palate is as refined as many people's on this website. I can only say I like Balsamic Vinegar, and this is good balsamic vinegar. Case closed, would recommend. I'm working up the cojones to purchase the 4 leaf vinegar to further refine my tastes and further lighten my wallet.

Insufficient Inventory

You missed several 'sales' due to the lack of sufficient inventory on this product. I had to substitute a local product in lieu of this one in many of my personal gift baskets. Not sure if it is your physical distribution issue or your suppliers problem. Hope you can do better next time!
